We received this morning Portuguese Papers to the 13th inst. There is reason to believe, from the dera!ls contained in these Papers, that SOPPT has plago an attempt to effeEt his retreat into Gallicia.—= ' In order to etre& this objed,. it was necessary that of Aruarante should be forced, and we that Suui.r has been incessant in his attacks tipen it. On ;lie 98th and 29th of April, the at ink,s of the enemy were repulsed with great loss.— ' . Po the Ist of this month the enemy made an°. attempt, and were again driven back with loss. 'pot, on the 2cl inst. SOVVI. attacked the position with the whole army, and succeeded in forcing it. Solna' however, many other difficulties to'encounter , before lie could die& his retreat to Panic* • overn.rnpnt this • morning received advices from Lisbon, which confirm the above account, but which do not . contain any information .respe4ing the route lvliich•Souvr has taken. .Gen. yloTo a remains still in the same situation at Merida, and has not yet shewn any disposition to advance into Pbrtugal. Ibis Avrny, it is said, is very sickly. General CUPTA occupies the same position,.he did when the last aeconnts :came away. The report of his having been defeated is wholly unfounded. The greatest exertions are making iu'the Southern and Eistern VrovinceS of Spain to profit by the -,:. , ..esertt diminished state , of th 6 French force, aid in the course of a very few weela, w , ,Otave no. dbcbt that we shall,receive most. gratifying sercp froM that qbarier.

We should be happy to .confirm ibis report, which we think by no enema improba ble, bUt no authentic intelligence of suet" an event bas reached this country.

LISBON, MAY 12. , Brigadier-General FRANCISCO DA SI LvEza4 has reportedlto the Supreme Council that on the g9th of April he was attacled.in his position of Atuaranthe with a greater force than on the 24th, btst that he nevertheless. repulsed the Enemy with great loss. ' On the Ist of May the Enemy made again another endeavour to carry his entrenchments which defended the Bridge, but met again With such a vigorous resistance that he was compelled to retreat with the loss of at least too, men. On the 2d May, Marshal SOUL?, with the-whole force which be was able td collea, at tacked him on all points, direeling his main attack against the bridge, which was at length abandoned by our troops, and Brigadier Str.vrtnat retreated by the pass of Pula, where he took post on the 2d, and continued in the same position on the 4th. Al though the intelligence from Amaranthe is not of a flattering na►ure, yet it is of no material imperfance as strong divisidns of English and Portuguese troops are marching to the Douro by different roads: Some haveralready reached f.amego, ,and it may be consi dered as certain that a body of troops has crossed the Douro. (Lisbon Gazette, May iv.) His Excellency Marshal Bcr,aszonp, having re ceived a very earnest application'from Lient.-General ANTONI Jose DE MIR A NOE 1-IfIRRIQUItS to be em ployed in the. expedition against Oporto, and the provinces of Minho and Tras-os-Montes, has ap pointed this distinguished General 'Officer Com mander in Chief of the troops in Thomas. —(Lisbon Dairy, May 12) 4NNIVERS4RY DINNER. A considerable number of persons assembled yes terday, at the Croun and Anchor Tavern, Strand, to celebrate the ele6lion of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, as one of the Representatives of the City of West minster. .. Sir FRANCIS took, the Chair, and when the cloth was removed he gave' the following toasts, which were received with great applause :--- '• The King and the .Act of Settlement."—" Alagna Charta "—" Tile People, and the Bill of nights."—" Pu. rity of Election, the first Step towards I'arliamentasy Reform," The next toast was conceived in the following ternis—" Westminster's Pride, Sir FRANCIS BuR• DETT." ahis toast was, of course, received with much more ivarmth, and, probably, with much greater sincerity, than that in honour of our good King. Sir FRANCIS then arose to render thanks to the.company for the honbur they bad donb him.— :He soon " rushed into the midst of things," and introduced all his usual topiCs of abuse against Go vernment, IVlinisior, and the „House of Commons. He ridiculed Mr. l'lLaNsv, because that Gen tleman manifested alarm . at the progreis of Re volutionists, who assume the character of Re formists—spoke in high terms of Mr. WARIng, and after a long string of such hacknied sentiments 'and sophistical reasonings as he generally pours forth'on such occasions, concluded with a ludicrous comparison between eleCting Members for die House of Commons, and chusing and diViding. cakes among school boys. The fantastical attempti at humour which the Baronet introduced, plainly demonstrated that he, had learned his lesson at Wirn bledon ; but they were so much below what a certain old restless Reformer used to say , in former times, that they must be considered as " , The last dull dregs and * droppings of his brain." Lord Coclta aria's. health -was then given,- and drank wilh great' applause. Sir,FßAtiCli tbiiowtd . with " the neiiith of Mr. WARDLE :aid the I $ Members who .4qpported his motion." This toast was of course received with enthusiasm, and .Mr. WAitour expressed' his thanks in a ,long speech, in, which he plainly proved, that whatever might be his motives when he brought forward the meas..tre which has raked hitdinto public nriice, be is now. an ar rant Bertlettite.. He spoke in high terms of. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S speech, and inveighed bitterly against the late arid present administration, and of comae wished to recommend Sir FaANcis. and' his party as the persons most prpper to =duet the Governthent, The . health of Mr. MADoctcs followed, and he also thanked the company, and indulged himself in delivering some political observations, that sa voured more of memory than any original power of retie ion.--Mr. Mapoom cautiously forbore to touch upon the positive 'contradiction which Mr. QVINTIN DICK gave to the statement which the former gave of Mr. Tholes reason for vacating his seat in the House of Commons. Ourßeaders,' of course, retnemh,T that Mr. FOSTER read Mr. DICICS letter in the HotifiC of Commons, which proved that Mr. MADoer.s's representation was wholly un founded. Major'CARTWRIGHT having had bis health drank, tools aii opportunity of following the track of the preceding orators.—Mr. WHITBREAD had the dis credit Of being introduced as a toast in this corn- Patty, and after it few Songs from the hired Per formers,' the Meeting dispersed without cluing any gne toast ought to be Mentioned,' as it affords a proper specithen of -the absurdity that chit ikteriseri .the general proceedings of the day, and is indeed as intelligible as most of the arguments ad.; vanced the several Orators present, viz.—" Lord tiftSKIN/4 and the libeity of confinement."

SECOND DAY. PORTSNOUTH, MAY 23.—This naming the Court assembled at half past nine o'clock, pursuant to ad journrnent,Whenßear-Admiral HARVEY being called upon to make his . Defen6e, he'addressed the Court shortly, stating, that it was not his intention to trouble them witli calling any witnertei in his 1.74- half. But with their permission, he would deliver into the hands of the Deputy Judge Advocate a paper, which he desired to be mad, as it.contained all tha he deemed expedient to offer to their consideration. The Deputy Judge Advocate (If r . QaprritAil) then read as follows ‘f MR..PRESID4NT AND GENTLEMEN, I thank the Court for adjourning to this day.,-e Tha interval of time 'has given you an opportunity of perusing the evidence that has been adduced, and I trust of discovering that it falls short of proving the charges that have been exhibited against me. I should, however, not be acing a fair and candid part, were I to deny that a condo I, which I can not justify, has been exhibited against me, and/ now offer my most bubble aPology to the Court for it. For the offence that I have given to the Com mander. in Chiif, his Lordship. has proved that I have already offered an apology that was satislattorY 'to his feelings. The Court will not fail to recollect, that although I have spoken pf the Commander in Chief in terms which- I am extremely sorry for liar: itig used, 1 did not speak with that publicity that is stated in the charge against me. 1 spbke only to persnns of rank and station in the fieet,on whose minds my words could have no injurious effed ; what I said i 5 not found to have been disseminated among the inferior orders of the navy. No seaman or petty officer hat been called', who ever heard any of the language complained of. It will also occur' to you, that . all the intemperate expressions used by me are proved • to'have been used about the same tiMe, .when I %vas in a state of great irritation, in consequence of my offer to attack the French fleet being passed over without the least acknoWledgment of its haviitg been., made. Excess of zeal, and impatience of restraint, . where an opportunity of enterptizt:i presents . itself, although faults, are such as the most eminent Naval Commanders have not been free from, and the effeds of these are all that can be found blamable in my condud. It never was my intention to thwart auy supdrior officer ; on' the contrary, my whole e life has . been, and shall continue to be, en 4 , tire submission to their commands. _ "To many of the Gentlemen of this Court baps the honour to be known to them I appeal for nay former ch'itracier.
